This section explains the procedure for creating PDF seals.
The imprint of the PDF Seal is created based on one of the following:
Image file | Image files in the following formats can be used for the imprint of the PDF Seal: BMP (.bmp)JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg, .jpe) GIF (.gif) PNG (.png) TIFF (*.tif) (only the first page) |
---|---|
ImagePDF | ImagePDF (*.pdf) can be used for the imprint of the PDF Seal. An ImagePDF refers to a PDF where all the display content is composed of a single image. |
Text | An imprint can be created based on any specified text. |
Images or ImagePDFs can be created in ways such as the following:
Create an image file for the imprint by taking a photo of the imprint on paper with a smartphone, etc.
Use a commercially available seal scanner to create an image file for the imprint.
Use an image scanner to read the imprint on paper and create an image PDF for the imprint.
Use paint software, etc., to create an image file for the imprint.
When creating from an image or ImagePDF, the most desirable is one composed of a “white or near-white background” and “one imprint in a color other than white”. Even if multiple imprints or things other than the imprint are included in the display, they are all processed as one imprint.
